I love fall

October 4, 2004

It starts.
When I went to shower yesterday my mind said “I ought to shave”, and then replied “Nahh, no point. Not gonna be wearing shorts for a while.” Kinda early to be starting that attitude…
But yes, I love fall. I think that, no matter where I go or what I do, home will be fall in Michigan. It is absolutley the most wonderful time ever.

Great things about fall:
School starts
Cross country season
The smell
Curling up under quilts at night
The view from my window here in squad
Yellow maples and ginko trees
The fact that I’m never feeling depressed in this season
Being able to look forward to snow, without being cold
Buckeye trees
Heritage Park
Moody (weather) November days
Sunny September days
Halloween
My cross sweatshirt
The h.s. kids get to put on their varsity jackets
Carving pumpkins
Leaf fights (Diane, up for one soon?)
When we were little, fall meant we’d be allowed over the fence soon
I’m sure there’s more, but that whole “school starts” thing means I must go to class now…

*laughs*
You haven’t heard my frequent rambleings on the state of the hair on my legs? Wow, I thought I talked about it more than that… Don’t worry, I shaved yesterday, so there’s nothing gross to be said now. *grin*

"For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us."
— Charles Bukowski
